THE WIND UP: VYPE Softball Rankings, No. 6 Katy Tigers
No. 6--Katy Tigers Softball
2022: 23-4 (District 19-6A Champions/Regional Semifinalists)
HC: Kalum Haack
The Katy Tigers have made the Regional Semifinals in back-to-back seasons heading into 2023. Led by legendary coach Kalum Haack, who enters his 25th season at Katy and his 36th overall as a head coach, the Tigers could make another deep run in 2023.
Katy is looking to reach the Regional Finals for the first time since 2019 when they last won State. Headlined by Arkansas-commit Cameryn Harrison, they will have a chance to. Harrison posted an insane 0.66 ERA in 117 ⅓ innings with 217 strikeouts and hit .495 at the dish with a team-leading 50 RBIs.
Teammate Ashtyn Reichardt will join Harrison in Fayetteville and led the team in hitting a year ago, batting .526 with 45 RBIs.
Other names to watch include Paige Bunting (Blinn), Peyton Watson (San Jac - .352, 17 RBIs), Montgomery Henderson (.407, 30 RBIs), Hailey Gore, Ella Smith, Avery Porter, and Lauryn Soeken (1.90 ERA, 74 strikeouts).

VYPE 2021 Softball Preview: Public School #15 Katy
This year's team will be guided by senior Olivia McFadden, who is committed to play at Purdue. Junior catcher Kailey Wyckoff will put down the signs behind the plate. A pair of freshmen will make their debut for the Tigers in outfielder Ashtyn Reichardt and pitcher/first baseman Cameryn Harrison. Like I said, Haack always reloads, and it will be interesting to see how long it takes before Reichardt and Harrison are household names in Katy.
